I've gone and scraped...

...some of the paint off the bottom railing of our first floor living room balcony. Doh!

Our new settee arrived first thing this morning - such luxury as we haven't had a proper settee since May 2008 - and it was delivered through these balcony doors by five strong men. In a village full of old houses with narrow doors and stairways, it's quite usual for furniture to be delivered directly to the first floor. They didn't scrape the paint off, that was me, while lowering parts of the old chairs down to Steve, waiting in the street ready to put them in the car.

p.s. try to ignore the dog hairs, I have no idea how they got there!
